Community Mural Projects

Community driven art is where its at for me. These are some of my favorite projects because I was able to work directly with students and other community members to make artwork that they could connect with personally. 

All of these projects were community driven, with the designs and ideas developed directly from community members and students. They are often part of painting the mural as well. And wow - people love a mural they helped paint. It's amazing.

Tacoma Community College Mural Project

This mural was a project spearheaded the TCC Library director and myself. A major community effort, this design was created in collaboration with TCC students, faculty, board members, and community artists. Students developed the themes of this image. The design was made in collaboration with artist Colin Cushman and painted with assistance from muralist Nathan Burnham-Bradley.

University Cooperative School Student Mural

This mural was a project put together by me and the 1st and 2nd grade students at University Cooperative School. Composed of designs made by the students, we worked together to get the design on the wall and then complete the mural with the support of parents, teachers, and students.
